2 days to go and urgent help needed!

So there are two days to go until my due date and still no name! Every time DH and I start to talk about names it leads to an arguement and now we have very little time left. Our first DS (Dexter) was nameless for two weeks before we settled on a name we both loved. So would people be able to vote for their favourite combination? We have four but we both have a reason against each name Hmm. Would you be able to put some of the doubts out of our mind or are they justified? Sorry for rambling on, here are the names -

Ivan Christopher (parents laughed when we suggested it)
Devlin James (know someone who has this as a surname)
Leon Caleb (someone told us it was chavvy)
Solomon Miles (don't like the nn Sol/Solly but they are inevitable)

What do you think?

I like Devlin James,

I also like saul miles or saul milo.

I likve Christopher, James and Solomon but Devlin, Leon and Miles are awful I'm afraid.

How about:

Solomon James
Christopher James

Yep, they laughed and said that Ivan was 'too foreign'?

Don't tell anyone your choices until you announce the baby is here. People have to accept it then. As for laughing, that is very rude.

Christopher James is nice.

Ivan is good. What about Spencer?

I like them all apart from Leon. Particularly like Ivan.

I like Leon James, goes well with Dexter I think. Good luck for the imminent birth!

I love Ivan, Devlin and Solomon - all lovely classic underused names.

I misread it as Solomons Mines and I don't think I'd be the only one to make that connection. So don't go with that one.

i prefer a lot of the middle names to first names, especially christopher. howabout christopher ivan, christopher miles or christopher james? when i saw devlin i first of all read devil, sorry.
